A Contemporary Frosty Enmity

Under no circumstances will I discuss anything that I might directly know about what I believe to be CLASSIFIED information.

That said, there are a great number of open sources of information from which we can draw inferences if not outright facts. So when it comes to the INF Treaty and the Trump Administrations announcement that the United States will pull out of the 1987 Treaty, what can we infer?

Did the neo-Soviet Russians violate the INF treaty? Does the US leaving the INF treaty actually make war more likely? Does the demise of the INF treaty make atomic warfare more likely?
